Well it's day 14 and we have 44 miles to go.  It's been quite an experience and we have learned a lot. No matter how prepared you think you are, there is always more to do. We are finishing in our typical place - last across the line (Nalu-style), but I don't think we're last on a corrected basis. Getting in safely has always been goal #1 and we should accomplish that. 

Transpac Trophy haul for Warrior Won

Honolulu, Hawaii – An enduring service provided by the Transpacific Yacht Club is maintaining one of the largest and most impressive perpetual trophy collections in the ocean racing world. Dozens of works of art crafted in silver, pewter, brass and bronze, along with traditional Hawaiian materials like Koa wood, canvas, cord and reeds, have accumulated over the 115 year history of this race, first sailed in 1906.

Father-son sailing and Division 1 and 2 winners crowned at Transpac

Honolulu, Hawaii – By now the stories of massive waves, sustained high speeds, and record runs coming into the docks at this year’s Transpac are starting to sound routine. This year’s race was epic, everyone agrees, thanks to a perfect weather scenario allowing for sustained high-speed sailing. Teams came in a day ahead of their hotel bookings and thus hung out at the bars of the Waikiki and Hawaii Yacht Clubs, enjoy terra firma and strong doses of Hawaiian hospitality poured into pineapples.

It's Sunday afternoon and we are on a layline for the Molokai Channel. That's where we'll gybe over to a starboard pole, heading West along the southern shore of Oahu making for Diamond Head and the finish line of the 2021 Transpac Race.   

Exhausted and elated, waves of teams are finishing strong in Transpac

Honolulu, Hawaii - Having start dates staggered this year over five days and near-perfect strong breeze over the 2225-mile course has resulted in the first big wave of competitors coming across the finish line at Diamond Head today in the 51st edition of the LA-Honolulu Transpac. Since yesterday 10 more teams have finished the race today, with 9 more teams expected in tonight before dawn tomorrow. This makes more half the fleet of 41 entries expected to be in to their berths at Hawaii YC or Waikiki YC before another large wave of 18 finishers are expected tomorrow and tomorrow night.
